Cool, Val… where I live, if a cat is an outdoorser, his/her life is severely handicapped. In fact, I lost one of the most intelligent cats I’ve ever known to a band of roaming dogs, 2 or 3 boxer like creatures. Bobo was sleeping on our back porch, in his little outside house and these dogs came up to attack him right in his own safety zone, and he was dead withing a few minutes, He didn’t have a chance.
The reason I share this, is because, unfortunately, most folks I know don’t have multiple animals, and I can’t count on seeing the neighborhood fauna getting along so well. You are very lucky to have such a safe zone in which to enjoy our four-legged sisters and bros!!
Please, I hope I didn’t bring you down with Bobo’s story, it happened several years ago, but I was reminded of the trauma of that day, thinking about what you said. No tears today!!!
thanks a bunch for visiting and commenting!
peace and kove,:)
